People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

Although the appearance of the mechanical sound meant that the battle with the human body against the huge metal armor was ended by Sigurd's victory.

And it's a "researcher" on the science side, not a monster mercenary magician on the magic side.

Chapter 56: "Mass Production Plan for Superpowers"

Immediately after the first round of testing, the large lifting equipment entered the site.

Because Sigurd dismantled a large number of parts unreasonably, and even cut off the important line of the "imaginary enemy", the two huge armors became a cage that restrained the internal driver.

The huge metal arm hung up a heavy armor, and tried to get the driver out of it with the demolition tool, while Sigurd himself walked to the initial position unhurriedly, continuing to drink coffee.

"So, Mr. Sigurd, do you have any 'suggestions' about this test?"

"The protective layer is still too weak. Simply using 'offensearmor' as a protective layer is still not enough. And the current problem is that when the driven armor is facing a high-ranking 'electromaster', it is very likely To be regarded as a living target, adjustments should be made in the selection of armor materials."

Kihara Duanshu nodded. He also understood these problems, but the materials available at this stage could not fully meet these requirements.

To ensure the strength and at the same time take into account the issue of weight, these two points alone are not enough for many existing materials, if it is necessary to be able to carry new protective equipment, it must also be able to isolate the "electric shock" Interfering with the ability of such materials is simply not possible at this stage.

At the same time, the development of new materials in Academy City is an area where progress is relatively slow. After all, this material is not intended to be a complete substance, and it is no longer a matter of "discovery", but "creation".

After being severely beaten by Sigurd, the experiment was carried out a few more rounds using the spare body, but judging from the collected data, it was still somewhat unsatisfactory.

Unlike "Kihara", an authority in the field of machinery, Kihara has a different terminal number.

Sigurd is just a nominal "Kihara", he doesn't have what a "Kihara" should have.

In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that there was too much commotion in Northern Europe some time ago, many magic associations were afraid to do things, and this mercenary was really bored, and he might not even appear in Academy City.

At this time, Sigurd was mixed on both the "magic side" and the "science side" at the same time. As a relatively neutral mercenary, this is not a problem.

However, it is worth mentioning that although Sigurd has great strength, he unexpectedly did not fall into the predicament of being "the target of public criticism".

It can even be said that in the two "worlds", the identities of "mercenary" and "researcher" are both flourishing.

For one thing, Sigurd quelled the turmoil in the Nordic region some time ago. Although a magic association named "Eve" reappeared later and quickly grew to a large-scale force not inferior to the "Excalibur Character Master", but Northern Europe as a whole is still fairly peaceful.

At the same time, the newly born association "Eve" inherited the position of "Heroic Spirit Selector" and continued to act as a neutral force in the Nordic region. Unlike before, "Eve", who now has an absolute advantage in power, has a greater power. The deterrent force forced some guys who wanted to take the opportunity to do things to settle down a lot.

And because of the stability of the Nordic region, the Russian adult education turned a blind eye to Sigurd's "hasty action" this time. After all, for the Russian adult education, the Nordic direction can be said to be the only thing they need to pay attention to. The problem.

Originally, Northern Europe was not controlled by any church. Once the five major associations in Northern Europe joined forces with the Roman Orthodox Church or the British Puritan Church, the Russian Orthodox Church would inexplicably fall into a situation of being surrounded.

But at this time, there is no need to worry about this at all, because Northern Europe has settled down now, and even because of fear of being "retaliated", many guys who used to collude with the five major associations have even begun to show their loyalty to the Russian adult religion and take the initiative to serve as the Russian adult religion. brother.

On the other hand, there are other magical powers in Russia's mature religion. It's not that they are crazy, and no magic association or church dares to start troubles from there.

As for the British side, needless to say, Sigurd still has the title of "Honorary Knight" on his head, plus Sigurd himself as a "golden" magician and his own "magic name" Factors, it is destined not to worry about the threat Sigurd will pose to the United Kingdom.

Besides, in terms of actual performance, Sigurd severely damaged the Knights of Orleans in France, wiped out the Spanish Star Cult, rescued the third princess, protected the second princess, and even guarded the library from the fanatics who tried to seize the "Original Code" The "Original Code" in the book also captured a dangerous witch with the ability to bring London to the bottom at the cost of the minimum loss during the Oreos rescue operation.

No matter that achievement is enough for Sigurd to receive a medal from the Queen herself, and be boasted by British magicians and knights.As long as Sigurd is willing, there is no need to go through the process, and the identity certificate can be issued immediately. The UK is now eager for Sigurd to join the UK.

Of course, this stuff is completely meaningless to Sigurd, he would do this entirely because London was once the birthplace of the "Golden Dawn", and he didn't want to be disturbed by some miscellaneous fish.

As well as the United Kingdom, which is also a big country of magic, it also has the base of British Puritanism, one of the three major churches.If Britain is in chaos, then the balance of the three major churches will be broken, and worldwide chaos will not be far away. That's why Sigurd has been trying to help Britain avoid some of the problems it encounters.

As for the Roman Orthodox Church, it is a bit subtle. There is obviously no special reason, and there is not much benefit from Sigurd. Like the whole church, there was no persecution or threat against Sigurd.

You know, in the style of the Roman Orthodox Church, there is such a high-strength magician hanging around outside, either recruiting the opponent or making them a wanted criminal. It is rare for Sigurd to ignore it. It's hard to believe that there isn't some special reason behind it.

After leaving the security guard's headquarters building, Sigurd wandered idly on the streets of Academy City.

Because this is where the important functions of Academy City are concentrated, there are not many students.

The crowds are full of busy adults.

Among the passers-by, Sigurd saw a man holding a thick document bag at a glance, and the man seemed to approach him because he saw him.

"Did Researcher Kihara come to the security headquarters again today to assist with adjustments?"

"Ah, but Master Duan Shu is also here, so I left work early. It's you, I heard that Higuchi Pharmaceutical Seventh Pharmaceutical Research Center has any new projects recently?"

"Yes, this may be a study that will be recorded in history!"

Looking at the excited man in front of him, Sigurd didn't have much expression.

Again, he is not "Kihara", and he does not possess the morbid obsession with science.

But just when Sigurd was going to be perfunctory, a document that the other party handed to Sigurd next shocked him inexplicably.

"Although it has not been officially launched yet, Mr. Sigurd may be able to check the details of the research later."

The research that the other party is participating in seems to be of a high level, but Sigurd, who is named a special researcher, has the authority to view the data of all experiments below the A+ level, so the other party has nothing to hide.

Enthusiastically, the man handed a thick document to Sigurd.

And on the cover of the document, it is written in black standard font...

"Superpower mass production plan"

Chapter 57: Second School District

The so-called "Mass Production Plan for Superpowers" is a plan to use the clones of existing superpowers in Academy City for military purposes.

A simple summary of the overall plan is to use the so-called body of a "literate" superpower to cultivate a large number of clones and apply them in the military field.

And the core part of this plan lies in the choice of "element body".

"According to the calculations of the 'Designer of the Tree', there is a 'Denshocker' ability user named Misaka Mikoto who has the possibility of becoming a superpower (level.5), and is expected to use the ability of the 'Denshocker' to build A temporary 'network' whereby the movements of all the clones are synchronized."

The man who became more and more excited began to lose control of his volume, which attracted some passers-by to look at him.

Seemingly noticing that he had lost his composure, the man calmed down, and then looked at Sigurd. It seemed that Sigurd was very interested when he heard about the plan.

"Tsk, I don't think this stuff works well."

Not only did Sigurd not show any surprise or surprise expression, in fact what the man saw was a confused and slightly disdainful frown of "What is this?"

"Any questions?"

"First of all, using drugs such as zid-02, riz-13, and hel-03 can reduce the cost and increase the growth cycle of the clone, but in the end it will also cause considerable damage to the clone's body, and the final lifespan may even be less than five years. year."

Sigurd turned to the next page and continued talking.

"Secondly, although the 'element body' has the possibility of becoming a person with superpowers, it is only a 'possibility', and there is no guarantee that the clone can retain this degree of possibility on the basis of 'crash'."

The black-haired man looked at where Sigurd was pointing, his expression instantly collapsed.

He is also a professional researcher, and he also thinks that what Sigurd said is correct. In fact, now that he is thinking about it carefully, this plan does not seem to be perfect, and even a mistake will completely terminate the situation.

"Furthermore, the 'tree diagram designer' is just a 'calculator', and what it feeds back is only a result. It is not a prophet, and it cannot predict the future. The development field of capabilities cannot be said to be fully understood now. If there is a slight deviation in the result, all the investment in this plan will be in vain.”

The man's original enthusiasm was casually gone, he frowned, and re-examined the document.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that what Sigurd said was right. Although many things in it were not necessarily wrong, if there was a mistake, the entire plan would be terminated. went in.

The identity of this man is still unknown to the existence of a certain confidential file in Academy City, so he agrees with Sigurd's statement.

But Sigurd knows that Misaka Mikoto definitely has the specifications to become a superpower, there is no doubt about it.

Not only Sigurd's own judgment, but also Academy City's "quality judgment".

And the so-called "quality judgment" is completely opposite to the "everyone can obtain superpowers through hard work" that Academy City promotes.

"Quality Discrimination" claims that before participating in the superpower development program, the upper limit of the superpower level that students can achieve is determined by the students' own aptitude, which is the so-called "literacy".

Therefore, Academy City will allocate resources for ability development according to the level of students' "literacy", and will also select experimental subjects according to their "literacy".

But the man in front of all this is unaware, and he is still struggling with the issue of "possibility".

"This matter is not within the scope of my responsibility, but if you listen to my advice, then don't invest too much in it, otherwise you will definitely suffer a big loss in the end."

"This......"

The man looked at the document in his hand with some reluctance. After all, such a big plan fell on his head. Once he succeeded, his name would be remembered in history, and he would even become Academy City's leading researcher.

But correspondingly, he has to pay the same risk. If he invests too much resources, then if there is a problem with the plan, he will go bankrupt in an instant, and even bear high debts.

Ignoring the man who was scratching his head in place, Sigurd briefly said goodbye and left the first school district.

Sigurd's destination is the second school district. Although the first and second school districts are continuous, in fact, on the map of Academy City, one is relatively north, while the other is at the southernmost end. In the past, it was necessary to pass through the entire Seventh School District to reach it.

Sitting on the unmanned bus, Sigurd sat silently in the back row. Because of time constraints, it was already the end of school time.

And the seventh school district is the area where many colleges are concentrated, so naturally, all kinds of students on the unmanned bus have also become the main passengers.

However, although there were quite a few people on board, Sigurd didn't really feel it. After all, he was wearing a researcher's white uniform and a special researcher's badge on his chest. In this place where students are the main residents, Seeing such a researcher on the bus, the whole bus will be much quieter.

Probably because it is easy for people like researchers to get in touch with teachers or something, even if the other party looks like a high school student.

But what is the reason, anyway, it is a good thing for Sigurd.

I don't know how long it has passed, but Sigurd has already arrived at the entrance of the second school district with a cup of coffee.

Because there is no direct bus, Sigurd needs to change another bus halfway to get to the second school district, so he bought a cup of coffee at the coffee shop on the roadside.

I don't know why, but this mercenary likes to drink coffee very much recently.

"Researcher Kihara, have you come to assist with the research again today?"

"I just came from the police headquarters in the first school district. There was Master Duanshu there, so I left work early. I just came here to have a look when I have time. Anyway, I am idle."

"It's really hard work. Okay, there is no problem with identity verification."

Returning the ID card to Sigurd, the guard in charge also opened the door.

The second school district is responsible for automobiles and gunpowder, and it is a school district with a strong color of heavy industry.

The school district where explosives or weapons are tested, and where the police and disciplinary committees are trained.

The second school district can be said to be the school district with the most secrets. In this school district, there are many research institutions that study cars and explosives that can make loud noises.

The school district is surrounded by high soundproof walls, and the place also has a device that emits anti-phase sound waves to cancel the noise.

By the way, the guards responsible for guarding the entrance of the second school district are also members of the security guards, but their functions are somewhat different from the general security guards, and they can generally be regarded as "special forces" personnel similar to the "guards and imaginary enemies" .

If general security officers are compared to police officers, then they are special police officers.

As for "guards and imaginary enemies", they probably have to be regarded as special forces or something.
